Abstract. The nonoscillatory central difference scheme of Nessyahu and Tadmor is a Godunovtype scheme for one-dimensional hyperbolic conservation laws in which the resolution of Riemann problems at the cell interfaces is bypassed thanks to the use of the staggered Lax–Friedrichs scheme. Piecewise linear MUSCL-type (monotonic upstream-centered scheme for conservation laws) cell interpolants and ...

In this paper we construct, analyze and implement a new procedure for the spectral approximations of nonlinear conservation laws. It is well known that using spectral methods for nonlinear conservation laws will result in the formation of the Gibbs phenomenon once spontaneous shock discontinuities appear in the solution. These spurious oscillations will in turn lead to loss of resolution and re...

We discuss the occurrence of oscillations when using central schemes of the Lax-Friedrichs type (LFt), Rusanov’s method and the staggered and non-staggered second order Nessyahu-Tadmor (NT) schemes. Although these schemes are monotone or TVD, respectively, oscillations may be introduced at local data extrema. The dependence of oscillatory properties on the numerical viscosity coefficient is inv...

A non-traditional operator split (OS) scheme for the solution of the advection-diffusion-reaction (ADR) equation is proposed. The scheme is implemented with the recently published central scheme [A. Kurganov, E. Tadmor, New high-resolution central schemes for non-linear conservation laws and convection-diffusion equations, J. Comput. Phys. 160 (2000) 241–282] to accurately simulate advection-re...

We propose three novel methods for recovering edges in piecewise smooth functions from their possibly incomplete and noisy spectral information. The proposed methods utilize three different approaches: #1. The randomly-based sparse Inverse Fast Fourier Transform (sIFT); #2. The Total Variation-based (TV) compressed sensing; and #3. The modified zero crossing. The different approaches share a co...

Non-oscillatory schemes are widely used in numerical approximations of nonlinear conservation laws. The Nessyahu-Tadmor (NT) scheme is an example of a second order scheme that is both robust and simple. In this paper, we prove a new stability property of the NT scheme based on the standard minmod reconstruction in the case of a scalar strictly convex conservation law. This property is similar t...

A class of non-oscillatory numerical methods for solving nonlinear scalar conservation laws in one space dimension is considered. This class of methods contains the classical Lax-Friedrichs and the second order Nessyahu-Tadmor scheme. In the case of linear flux, new l2 stability results and error estimates for the methods are proved. Numerical experiments confirm that these methods are one-side...

We discuss an extension of the Jiang–Tadmor and Kurganov–Tadmor fully-discrete non-oscillatory central schemes for hyperbolic systems of conservation laws to unstructured triangular meshes. In doing so, we propose a new, ‘‘genuinely multidimensional,” non-oscillatory reconstruction—the minimum-angle plane reconstruction (MAPR). The MAPR is based on the selection of an interpolation stencil yiel...
